(Note: Concord Acquisition Corp. II is the second of three blank-check companies or special-purpose acquisition companies (SPACs) under the Concord name and affiliated with Atlas Merchant Capital.)

We intend to capitalize on the ability of our management team and sponsor to identify, acquire and manage a business in the financial services and financial technology sectors, including payments, enterprise software and data analytics.

Our sponsor is affiliated with Atlas Merchant Capital LLC, an alternative asset manager with approximately $1.5 billion in assets under management as of Dec. 31, 2020. and over $3.0 billion of capital raised through its fund vehicles and its related co-investments in its fund’s portfolio companies since inception. Founded in 2013, Atlas seeks to invest in compelling opportunities globally, primarily through its financial services-focused investment funds. Led by its co-founders, Bob Diamond and David Schamis, Atlas believes that changes in the regulatory landscape following the 2008 financial crisis led to an unprecedented level of disruption and created substantial investment opportunities in the financial services sector, broadly defined.

(Note: Concord Acquisition Corp. II priced its SPAC IPO on Aug. 31, 2021, in line with the terms in its prospectus: 25 million units at $10 each to raise $250 million.)
